Bristol Caroni Reserve Rum of Trinidad HTR 1998 24yr 51,3%
The "Reserve Rum of Trinidad HTR" from Caroni, bottled by Bristol Classic Rum, is a rare 24-year-old gem distilled in 1998. With an ABV of 51.3%, this rum captivates with its intense and complex profile. On the nose, it reveals dirty, rubbery, leathery, and tarry notes. The palate is equally bold with flavors of tar, burnt caramel, and cinnamon. This Caroni rum stands out for its well-integrated alcohol and balanced dirty notes. It’s praised for its unique, non-intrusive Caroni character, offering a smooth yet slightly rugged sipping experience. Some find it a bit lacking in punch due to the alcohol reduction, but it remains a highlight for those who seek sophisticated and original rum profiles. An exceptional Caroni that combines mechanical workshop aromas with unexpected freshness.

“A rum tasted at Rum Depot in Berlin. The bottle is almost empty. Full Caroni nose, tires, petrol and tar with a surprising but very pleasant freshness. The palate has a clean attack, with notes of machine shop first, then comes the freshness (menthol?) sensed on the nose, fruit last. The finish is a little pale in comparison, with fruit and a woodiness that was barely present before. The empty glass shows a lovely balance between fruit and machine shop. A very fine Caroni, too bad its finish is a little weak.”

“Very nice on the nose with a nice long lingering aftertaste. On the palate the reduction becomes noticeable in an A/B comparison versus FP Caronis from 98. All in all quite enjoyable - somewhat an easy sipper (when it comes to Caronis) which still delivers on the dirty notes and presents a round profile.”

“Definitely the highlight of the online Bristol tasting. A not too smooth 98er, complex, slightly dirty notes, alcohol well integrated.”
